1. Plutko’s Day
Indians pitcher Adam Plutko went 5.2 innings, allowing three runs on five hits, taking the loss to drop to 4-2 on the season.
He also struck out three and walked one in the loss. After the loss Plutko stated that he felt good for the most part, more so with his fastball, but that as the game moved on the pitch started to move up in the zone and the A’s eventually caught up to it.
The big hit was the A’s number nine hitter, Josh Phegley, taking a 1-2 Plutko pitch and hitting it out to tie the game at two after the Tribe had a 2-0 edge.
It wasn’t an awful outing by any means for Plutko, but with the offense doing nothing against Jackson and the A’s relievers, it wouldn’t have mattered unless he was perfect.
